Indian V/S American Family problem !!

While I was interacting with my boss today,one guy who is working in other department and reporting to my boss,came and asked that whether he can take leave for 3 days. Boss asked why ?

He said he has some family problem? On asking what kind of family problem he remained silent.Finally he was granted leave but one funny story came to my mind.

Two men, one American and an Indian were sitting in a bar drinking pegs after pegs.The Indian man said to the American, "You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely girl from a village whom I haven’t even met once. We call this arranged marriage. I don’t want to marry a woman whom I don’t love…I told them openly about this and now I have a hell lot of family problems.You people are lucky.Love marriages are always better"

The American said, "Talking about love marriages…I’ll tell you my story. I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years." After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father’s father-in-law.

My daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father’s brother and so he my uncle. Situations turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father’s son i.e. my brother is my grandson.

Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson. And you say you have family problems ...give me a break!!"

Funny it sounds but it can actually be true.
